What kind of people cash cheques with Albemarle & Bond and Herbert Brown?

All kinds! We help people without bank accounts and those who have a bank, but occasionally prefer an alternative way to manage their money.

Small businesspeople use our services too, often when they have received a customer cheque and don’t want to wait for clearance, as they need to pay staff or sub-contractors quickly.

"I’m sure there’s a good reason for it, but the time it takes banks to clear a cheque can cause problems for some of my customers.

When they come into the shop to see me, I give them the cash there and then and they say the small commission we charge is worth it to avoid over half a week of being skint!"

"Some of my customers cash their wage cheque with me every week. They say it’s like getting paid 4 days early!"

"Even though lots of people pay cash for their energy down at the Post Office, overpayment refunds are sometimes sent as cheques. It’s the same with tax rebates.

I just tell them not to worry and I cash their cheques straight away. The commission isn’t much and they have the money in their hands within minutes."

"Sometimes, my customers have money to come back from the electric or the tax people, but a cheque isn't much help if they don’t have a bank account."
